Air Force officials have confirmed that the 41-year old wife of an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel was killed in the terrorists attack in Brussels.

Gail Minglana Martinez died at the Brussels international airport after suffering injuries from the bombs detonated by Islamic State terrorists.

Her husband and active-duty airman, Kato Martinez, and their four children were hurt and are still hospitalized.

Very, very sad news. LtCol Martinez (then Capt) was my Officer In Charge when I was stationed Balad Air Base in Iraq with the Combined Joint Special Operations Air Component. That smile you see in this picture was always on his face, no matter what was going on. He was really appreciative when I managed to find a round-about way for him to call home and let him talk to his wife and kids almost every night, they were everything to him. Please stop for a minute and say a prayer for him, his wife, and their children. He was a good man, a good husband and father, a good officer, and most importantly a good friend.

Prayer sent up for this fine family in this terrible time of trial.

Are the “authorities” dragging out the formal identification of American victims in order to avoid “anti-Islamic” anger or some other nonsense?

God rest her soul...and God bless and comfort Lt. Col Martinez and his children.

Please dear God, hold them in the able Hands of thy Son, Jesus Christ with the sure knowledge that they will be reunited with their wife and mother in they Time.

And may we, the people of the United States, elect leadership who will take the fight to these animals and annihilate them and their evil from off of the face of the earth.

Amen to all of your prayer and additional prayers for family and his many friends.

Should you have occasion to talk to him, please let him know that he and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I’m reminded of Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove. Karma would put this good man in a position to do something about the evil that murdered his wife and injured his children. It’s not actually a wish (I’d like President Trump to do something though), just a pleasant daydream.

Spot on.
